🌸✨ Meet our next Executive Committee spotlight: Matt Nagatomi! ✨🌸 Matt has been a cornerstone of the Cherry Blossom Festival for over 20 years, including several years as our incredible co-chair. 🌟🙌 From his early days on the logistics committee to leading the Festival’s success, Matt’s passion and dedication shine through in every aspect of his work. 💪🌸
This year marks Matt’s final year as co-chair, but don’t worry, he’s not going anywhere! His commitment to the festival and community will continue to inspire us all. ❤️ Matt’s leadership, enthusiasm, and unwavering friendship have made him not only an amazing leader but also a true pillar of the Cherry Blossom Festival family. 🌺

☀️No Rain on This Parade!☀️
🌸This past Sunday, Consul General Otsuki and Consulate staff and families marched in 59th Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival’s Grand Parade – the culmination of two weeks of festivities in San Francisco Japantown!
This year’s parade featured laughs with Grand Marshal Atsuko Okatsuka @atsukocomedy and big cheers for Community Marshals Roy & PJ Hirabayashi and Steve Nakajo. Great to see @nccbfqp & visiting courts, the return of the Kanda Mikoshi @sf_kanda_mikoshi, and the parade’s iconic grand finale with the Taru Mikoshi @sfmikoshi!
✨Thank you to NCCBF and all of those who came out to celebrate Japanese culture and Japan-California friendship over these two weekends, and see you next year for the 60th!✨

@nc_cbf was amazing as 2 weeks of @cherryblossomfest ended with the Grand Parade over @streetsofsf heading to @sf_japantown
Just like a cherry blossom, life is short and sweet, and every moment is precious. It remind us to live in the present and appreciate the beauty around us. 🌺 🌸
The @wildbayarea celebrated the NorCal Cherry Blossom Festival in @japancentermalls as many gathered and enjoyed the amazing culture.
Pictured in this set is the grand finale of the annual para @sfmikoshi , a portable Shinto shrine weighing in at over 1,000 pounds, is hauled by the SF Ta Mikoshi Ren, a group of over 140+ volunteers, across th parade route to spread blessings, joy and good luck.
Also, swipe ⬅️ to view the @sanfranciscothecity City Hall in Pink and Red dressed for the Grand Parade Day.
Thanks to @yuki_nish , Lea , @kiyomit and all @nc_cbf @nccbfqp for giving an opportunity to enjoy the festival and capture this beautiful scenes.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed?
